Biography: Fernando Botero
Fernando Botero (be) born in 1932 in Medellin, Colombia. He (painter)
in the neo-figurative style and (call) himself "the most Colombian of
Colombian artists". He largely (paint) large people – figures that (be)
much larger than life in all parts of their body. His critics often call them
“fat people”. Botero didn’t (know) the reason why he (painted) such
obese forms.
Botero (grow) up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church. These
(be) in the centuries-old Baroque style and (influence) his style. He
(be) never rich enough to visit galleries and see other works. He was
(hold) his first exhibition when he was 20, in the capital Bogota. He
(use) the money he (receive), to go to Europe to study art.
While living in New York in the 1960s, he found new inspiration in the
Italian Renaissance. He began experimenting with creating volume in his
figures by expanding them and compressing the space around them.
This (becomes) his unique and characteristic style. In 1997, Colombian
terrorists (destroyed) his sculpture 'Bird' in Medellín. Seventeen people
(killed) in the attack.
Botero’s works now hang in galleries all over the world. He (guarantee)
millions of dollars for each painting he (do). His works instantly
(become) collector’s items and many people buy them as investments.
In 2005, Botero (paint) a series of 50 paintings that graphically (show)
the horror of the events in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison. This (be) typical of
Botero using art for social commentary.

Angelina Jolie
Angelina was born in LA in 1976. She loved movies and started acting
classes to follow her dream of movie stardom. She was rebellious and
becoming a punk with dyed purple hair and tattoos. Her movie career
took off in 1997 and within a few years she won an Oscar. Her 2001 role
as Lara Croft in the blockbuster “Tomb Raider” shot her to international
fame.

Angelina didn’t limits her career to acting. In 2000 she involved her
humanitarian work while she was filming in Cambodia. She is now a UN
Goodwill Ambassador, she visited refugee camps in poor countries. She
was donating large sums of money to help the underprivileged people.
She has effectively used her stardom to highlight world problems.

Helping other people is what truly motivates Angelina. In 2001, she

said: “We cannot close ourselves off…and ignore the fact that millions of
people are out there suffering.” In addition to acting awards, she
received wide recognition for her humanitarian work. She became the
first winner of the UN’s Citizen of the World Award. It seems likely more
accolades will follow.

Unfortunately, Jolie’s personal life came to overshadow her other

pursuits. The tabloids were obsessing with her relationships, especially
the one with Brad Pitt. The couple were referred to not as Brad and
Angelina but as “Brangelina”. The media seem more caught up with
what they ate and drank than the important humanitarian work Angelina
did.

¿Cómo percibe usted la importancia de aprender un segundo idioma?

Realmente muy gratificante porque cuando uno hace las cosas de

corazón y va entendiendo lo que está haciendo lo motiva a continuar y
querer seguir aprendiendo, a diario tenemos cosas por mejorar, por
ahora por mejorar considero el miedo y la inseguridad que tengo al
aprender este nuevo idioma para mí. EL aporte es grande porque me
ayuda a sentir confianza en lo poco que voy aprendiendo, pues el
segundo idioma es de gran importancia hoy en día en todos los aspectos
de la vida, sobre todo laboral.

mejorar está el perder el miedo a equivocarme en la pronunciación, sin

aportó de gran manera brindándome nuevos conocimientos, de igual

idioma, mejora nuestra vida social, laboral y por supuesto económica,
